I think most everyone agrees excellent shootout done w stock bikes (read your reason-for average rider who doesn't change a thing). But what about the others who are willing to spend more to "fix" the any fixable "flaws"? Say each bike (if it helped) got revalved, bars, sprocket changes, pipes, cam, this and that whatever but kept to realistic $ amount say maybe 2-5k? Then did the same shootout same riders same tracks? Yes very time consuming but I'm guessing you will be doing that anyways to most bikes?. I am guessing that a lot of riders would be interested in how each performed from what you fealt improved each bike and how it compared to the rest. I would hope the factories would take notes too. Anyways thank you for the shootout. Anyone else interested in a "dialed in" shootout?
